Pitbulls are killers: The entire breed needs to be eliminated

In response to: “It is the owners who give some pitbulls a bad name,” by a Flint woman, in “Your Voices.” In some cases, you’re right, but in the majority of the cases you’re wrong!

Pitbulls were inbred in Europe to be killers. If you go online, you’ll see that pits are banned in some states in the U.S and in many foreign countries, including Canada. There are good reasons for that.

You blame it on the owners, but what about the following instances, for example: A grandmother, who had a pit since it was a puppy, laid her grandchild on the floor — her pit bit the baby’s head off. Another grandmother, who also had a pit since it was a puppy, had a grandchild over — the pit attacked the young girl for no apparent reason. It took over 200 stitches to sew the girl up. And what about the 3-year-old Flint girl who was recently attacked by a pit and would be dead if not for the two brave, young boys who came to her rescue? The list goes on and on and on.

You want to take the chance that your pit will “snap” someday? Most times, after an attack, the owner will say, “But my pit was so friendly, caring, etc.” Yeah, right, be realistic!

Have you ever watched Judge Joe Brown on TV? He says, “Pitbulls are not pets, they’re time bombs waiting to go off!” He has a chart, that they display, that shows pits far outnumber other breeds in deadly attacks on people or pets. Not just bites, but deadly attacks.
